Tag Archives: slouchy sweatshirt

The pencil skirt has been kicking about for a few seasons now, and I think this is my absolute favourite way to wear it – the straight and slouchy way! It’s really simple, works for evenings out, a walk in the park, a visit to the pub, wherever really!

How do you wear it straight and slouchy? Like this! All you need is a pencil skirt, a slouchy top, and either heels or chunky boots. Note: flats don’t really work as well with this look. Elevation sets off that straight and slouchy look perfectly!

What I love about this look is mixing textures, fabrics, prints and colours. Team a sequin skirt with a simple sweatshirt or slouchy T-shirt. These three looks show off this look to perfection.

On the far left, a brilliant print skirt teamed with a simple white knit (£69 & £85, French Connection), in the middle bold clashing prints work brilliantly together for a bold look (top, £29.99, skirt, £29.99, H&M), and on the right a gorgeous winter knit, looks Arctic-beautiful with an ice cool blue sequin skirt (£90 & £125, French Connection).

If you want a preppy look, add boots or Mary Jane T-bar shoes, geek glasses and a scarf to this Hogwarts sweatshirt (£22.99, New Look) and plain grey skirt (£14.99, H&M).

Tartan, plaid, check – a key trend this season, whatever you call it. Mix it up with a plaid pencil skirt (£14.99, New Look), teamed with an embellished box-shape top (£29.99, H&M) for an edgier look.

Mixing textures and fabrics gives this look a brilliant straight and slouchy vibe. Team a bold patterned knit (£45, JOY) with a slinky silver pencil skirt (£26.99, New Look) for a day or night look, depending on how bold you are!

If your pencil skirt is making the statement in this straight and slouchy look like this bold imitation leather floral print skirt (£42) from JOY, keep your top relaxed and simple like this purple sweatshirt (£29.95) from GAP

Take the sequin from the skirt (£40, Julien Macdonald @ Debenhams) and complement it with a touch of sequin in your top (£14.99, H&M) – but keep it casual!

So, that’s how to wear your pencil skirt this season – straight and slouchy, night and day!
